Hey, if Lucy Ricardo could smash grapes you can do it with your clothes in the tub!
You just need an "Ethel Mertz" to help you.

Oh, it is dead then. If duct tape can't fix it, there is no hope. Duct tape and WD-40 usually fix everything.

Not even Duct tape could have saved it.

I'm pretty sure your X mailbox is beyond all taping.

HAAAA!!! Fine ideas, one and all but wiring it up would be about 1/4+ run to my house. Nope. No juice. Now a sniper rifle and camo both seem to be plentiful around here. What is the rule? Drag the corpse into the house after or is just rolling him onto my property good enough?
Actually, I think your card would have survived!  Can you come and tape my mailbox back together?

Maybe you should get a metal box and wire it. At night, cut on the current, cut it off in the mornig. A sudden horrible jolt may make hillbilly Santa think twice about fucking with your official U.S. Postal Service Mail Recepticle. Thank god this did not happen a day or so before because my card would have been in such jeopardy that my tape could not have helped it! I think you need a tank mailbox, capable of defending it'self. Do they make those yet?

Well, I had already cleaned up the debris (which was impressive in and of itself) but take a look at this direct hit! Looks like we have the next Babe Ruth living in the area. I am really surprised that this has only happened twice, really. Once when some drunk hit the pole itself knocking it out into the opposite lane of the road. Look at that sucker! That is no small pole and it is held in place by who knows how many lbs of concrete. THAT made me laugh as you could see his skidmarks go right from that massive wooden structure through the fence across the street. Ho ho!
I'll try to get a shot of the really impressive hit down the street. Guys would have been taking their lives in their hands around here turning around for a second go but, man, you aren't kidding about looking for a body part. It looks like they used a metal pole from the dent in cast iron one down the street and I wouldn't be surprised to find a finger in the ditch.
Check out what my closest neighbor did to protect his mailbox. Still, all that and they still whacked out some of the brickwork.

Could have been a backswing, or maybe they just turned around and came at it from the opposite side. Was there any snow angel/dead body type marks near the nieghbor's iron box? Seems like a hit like that would knock the swinger straight out of the truck and on his ass.
I'll be looking to be amused by the shrapnel picture later.

Yeah, a bunch. While mine is just one of those plastic suckers, they must have backswung at a cast-iron expensive sucker down the street. Put a helluva dent in it! I say it was a backswing as the dent was on the opposite side from the trajectory of the plastic debris field I just had to go pick up!
I am about off to the gym. I'll take the camera and snap a shot of mine for public amusement later!

Gotta love those druken hillbilly Santas. Did anyone else on your street get the same treatment?

Yeah, the Scrooge that played "mailbox baseball" down my street the night before Xmas Eve! Where is the mailman going to put all my late-ordered gifts?!
(Gotta give 'em props, though....completely destroyed my plastic box. Homerun 100%). |
